The first step of revitalization is obvious when one enters the theatre. Across the stage are high edge-lit letters which spell out ‘G-U-Y-S-D-O-L-L-S’. At the opening, the ‘G’ swings around to reveal a barbershop; at the end of the scene, the ‘G’ swings back & then later appears as part of the set of another scene. All the letters work this way, providing minimal set changes, but with maximum effect. The dressing of stagehands as cast members made those changes almost completely unobtrusive, all a great credit to Jacob Battista set designer, and his team. – Bill Watts – 3WBC
